England captain Harry Brook introduced Jacks inside the opening 15 overs to build pressure via off-spin. The move paid immediate dividends against Babar, who was attempting to anchor Pakistan's innings after England elected to bowl first.

Operating with tight control, Jacks drifted a quicker delivery into the right-hander on a tight line. Babar attempted to defend from the crease, but the delivery skidded past the inside edge and crashed into the stumps, bringing an end to his stay and sparking celebrations in the England camp. Babar Azam Completes 16,000 Runs in International Cricket, Achieves Feat During PAK vs SL Match.

 The dismissal put Pakistan in trouble at 64 for 3 inside the first 16 overs, leaving the middle order with a considerable rebuilding task. Pakistan had entered the fixture on the back of an opening win against Sri Lanka, while England, playing their first ODI in Pakistan in more than two decades, sought an assertive start to their tournament campaign. Jacks' strike reinforced England's early grip on the match, forcing Pakistan to consolidate through the middle overs.
